BEST ANSWER:I did not keep this item. I think the seam must have been higher than waist because that was what I was looking for. I returned it because I was interested in buying it to use as a summer "duster" but the material was not light weight enough. I have had success in using such a dress as a summer duster but it did not "do the trick" this time !

I am short, 5ft, 1 and short waisted. The seam was 1-2 inches above my waist. As a result, the material below the seam was very full around the body. I did not like that look although the dress itself was very nice.

The seam, for me, is at the waist. This dress is one of my very favorite "go-to" dresses in my closet during the spring to fall weather. I purchased the flax color, looks like linen with none of the care of linen.

BEST ANSWER:No, I would purchase so many more dresses if they had pockets. But, I'm s seamstress so I cut off enough from the hem (I'm short enough) to make two pockets and inserted them at the side seams. I did the same with the taupe colored dress.. The fabric is very nice, looks like linen without the wrinkles!!

The dress does not have pockets; I think pockets might not be attractive with the style of the dress. I am super fond of the dress, bought it in an off-white color. The material in my dress is wonderful, does not wrinkle.
